Scene 4: The Woods
(Trey in his bedroom, writing in his Journal)
TREY: This is weird, so I'll write it down. I was bored, so I went for a walk in the woods next to the golf course. Helen Spitzer threw a snowball at my head.
HELEN:(far off;) Hey Trey, you suck!
TREY: I just kept walking. I was all alone and I noticed something moving in a snowdrift. I thought maybe it was an animal.
(Lights cross-fade to the weoods. Trey is walking just as he described. There's a huge snowdrift that seems to be moving a little bit. Trey stops and watches it.) Hello? who's there? Hey! hey, shoo! (The moving continues) Are you hurt 'Cause I'll go call an ambulance if you need one. (Some of the snow starts to clear and we can make out a figure of a teenage boy, lying in the snow, making a snow angel. There's something ghostly about his appearance.) What are you doing? (The boy, Brendan, rises from the snowdrift. He stares at Trey.)
BRENDAN: What?
TREY: Are you alright?
BRENDAN: I think so.
TREY: What are you doing?
BRENDAN: I was.. I was..
TREY: Making a snow angel?
BRENDAN: Yes
TREY: Why?
BRENDAN: I don't know. My head hurts.
TREY: Should I call you a doctor?
BRENDAN: Have you seen whitestone?
TREY: What?
Brendan: Whitestone. Have you seen it?
TREY: No
BRENDAN: I've been looking for it, but I'm having trouble.
TREY: Whitestone?
BRENDAN: My head hurts.
TREY: You shouldn't lie in the snow like that, you'll get sick.
BRENDAN: It's important I find whitestone. Otherwise, I don't know what'll happen to me.
TREY: I've never heard of it.
BRENDAN: Is this Deerpoint?
TREY: Yes
BRENDAN: Well whitestone should be around here somewhere.
TREY: What's your name?
BRENDAN: Brendan.
TREY: You live around here?
BRENDAN: I need to go.
TREY: Why?
BRENDAN: Because I need to find whitestone.(Runs off.)
TREY: Where are you going? Brendan?!
(Lights go back to Trey reading his journal.)
TREY: He ran off, and I had to go to work. I man the counter at the Pretzel knot. I hate that place.
